Thoughts on interconnect vs. speaker cable length.

I wish to plae my amp closer to the speakers and away from the front end rack.

My system consists of Esoteric MG10s, Bel 1001MKV, Audible Illusions 3a, PS DLIII DAC, M2Tech USB/SPdif. Mac Mini, Arcam DV137, Sonograph Turntable.

Tpreaves, To help you understand.....
The OP is considering a shorter SC run and a longer IC run from Pre to Amps.
General experiences suggest that shorter ICs and longer SCs are the better sonically with all else being equal. Others more knowledgeable will chime in.

As Schubert offered, as well.

I prefer IC to be 1 - 2 meters, speaker cable 8 feet. Lots of opinions on this, just don't assume that shorter is always better.

Thanks Schubert and Iso. To bring specificity to my question, I am indeed asking opinions on IC vs SC lengths for a run between pre and amp of 3-12 feet vs a run between amp and speakers between 6 and 15 feet. I am currently in position to try 8 and 15 ft SCs with 3, 6 and 12 ft ICs. Just looking for opinions and having fun with audio.
